[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1900780, member: 204485"] Just to illustrate how much has changed, when Snow Leopard was released in 2009 the now ubiquitous iPhone was the 3G or 3GS the first iPhone (2G) had only been released in 2007. Today it's hard to imagine a mobile phone with only 16GB of storage but that's how far we have come. The same has happened with software if not even more so. I recall having to apply and pay for a custom version of a taxation application because there were only limited Mac versions on CD while the windows version was freely available at any tax office. Netscape Navigator was the only browser I could use on a government web site which I think was when I abandoned Safari and I've never really gone back. HTTPS did not exist only universally adopted around 2016 replacing the less secure HTTP form of URL. Despite all of this change my 2010 MacBook running MacOSX High Sierra can run a current browser, 2016 MS Office and my email client of choice but there has to be a cut off point, sadly kali89, you may have hit that wall.
